Evaluation of Multivalent Sialylated Polyglycerols for Resistance Induction in and Broad Antiviral Activity against Influenza A Viruses

Marlena N. Stadtmueller, Sumati Bhatia, Pallavi Kiran, Malte Hilsch, Valentin Reiter-Scherer, Lutz Adam, Badri Parshad, Matthias Budt, Simon Klenk, Katrin Sellrie, Daniel Lauster, Peter H. Seeberger, Christian P. R. Hackenberger, Andreas Herrmann, Rainer Haag, Thorsten Wolff

Summary: The development of multi-valent sialic acid-based inhibitors for a variety of influenza A virus strains has been limited by the high genetic and structural variability of the targeted viral hemagglutinin (HA). By using sialylated polyglycerols and studying resistant mutants, a rationally designed inhibitor covering an extended spectrum of inhibited IAV strains was successfully created, highlighting the importance of integrating virological data with chemical synthesis and structural data for the development of sialylated polyglycerols towards broad anti-influenza compounds.

Molecular tweezers - a new class of potent broad-spectrum antivirals against enveloped viruses

My-Hue Le, Estelle S. K. Taghuo, Thomas Schrader

Summary: A new supramolecular approach for broad spectrum antivirals is developed based on host-guest chemistry. By encapsulating basic amino acids inside molecular tweezers, this method disaggregates and neutralizes protein fibrils, leading to the loss of their ability to enhance viral infection. Additionally, molecular tweezers bind to viral membranes, disrupting them and effectively eliminating infectivity for various viruses.

An mRNA-based broad-spectrum vaccine candidate confers cross-protection against heterosubtypic influenza A viruses

Feifei Xiong, Chi Zhang, Baoyuan Shang, Mei Zheng, Qi Wang, Yahong Ding, Jian Luo, Xiuling Li

Summary: In this study, a novel mRNA-based multi-antigen influenza vaccine was designed, which consisted of three conserved antigens of influenza A virus. The vaccine showed potent humoral and cellular responses and provided broad protection against different influenza viruses. The results suggest that the mRNA-based vaccine encoding conserved proteins is a promising approach for eliciting broadly protective humoral and cellular immunity against various influenza viruses.

A mosaic influenza virus-like particles vaccine provides broad humoral and cellular immune responses against influenza A viruses

Xuejie Liu, Tianyi Zhao, Liangliang Wang, Zhuolin Yang, Chuming Luo, Minchao Li, Huanle Luo, Caijun Sun, Huacheng Yan, Yuelong Shu

Summary: The study utilized a mosaic vaccine design strategy and genetic algorithms to optimize the influenza virus antigens and generate virus-like particles. Compared to a commercial quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine, the mosaic VLPs induced stronger cross-reactive antibody responses, robust T-cell responses, and provided better protection in a mouse model. These findings demonstrate the promising potential of mosaic vaccines for developing a broad influenza vaccine in the future.

Summary: Broadly protective therapeutic antibodies are urgently needed to combat SARS-CoV-2 variants. Researchers have found that antibodies formed during coronavirus infection can target multiple coronaviruses. These antibodies can bind to both alpha- and betacoronaviruses, but their neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 is weak. However, they may still play a role in influencing the severity of coronavirus infection and disease through Fc-mediated effector functions.

Structural insights into TRAP association with ribosome-Sec61 complex and translocon inhibition by a CADA derivative

Eva Pauwels, Neesha R. Shewakramani, Brent De Wijngaert, Anita Camps, Becky Provinciael, Joren Stroobants, Kai -Uwe Kalies, Enno Hartmann, Piet Maes, Kurt Vermeire, Kalyan Das

Summary: During cotranslational translocation, the signal peptide of a nascent chain binds Sec61 translocon to initiate protein transport through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Our cryo-electron microscopy structure of ribosome-Sec61 shows binding of an ordered heterotetrameric translocon-associated protein (TRAP) complex, in which TRAP-gamma is anchored at two adjacent positions of 28S ribosomal RNA and interacts with ribosomal protein L38 and Sec61 alpha/gamma. Four transmembrane helices (TMHs) of TRAP-gamma cluster with one C-terminal helix of each alpha, 13, and delta subunits.
